A federal judge has permanently blocked an effort by former President Donald Trump to require proof of citizenship for voter registration. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper in Boston expands on a preliminary injunction issued a year earlier, which temporarily halted many of Trump's election-related initiatives.
The judge ruled that Trump does not have the authority to alter U.S. election rules. The decision marks another legal setback for the Trump administration's election policies, as noted by the Washington Examiner, which described the ruling as the latest loss for the former president's efforts in this area.
The Boston-based magistrate, as reported by El País, argued that the former president's attempt to impose the requirement lacked legal justification. The ruling effectively prevents the implementation of a policy that would have required individuals registering to vote to provide documentation proving their U.S. citizenship.
The preliminary injunction had already limited the scope of Trump's efforts to overhaul election procedures. The recent decision solidifies that restriction, ensuring that the requirement cannot be implemented under the current legal framework.
